Your setup and search strategy both have a problem.

pin tk.h will tell you some info. If you want nicer output, susegrep
will tell you but you'll have to initialise its info from your silver
platters first.

So the package is called tk-devel. SUSE has always called development
packages (C header files, static libraries) xyz-devel, so any search in
yast for tk or tcl would have found them. Now what disk(s) is it on?

> susegrep ^tk-devel
tk-devel-8.4.14-11.i586.rpm                         cd5  suse/i586
tk-devel-8.4.14-11.i586.rpm                         dvd1 suse/i586
tk-devel-8.4.14-11.x86_64.rpm                       dvd1 suse/x86_64

-> CD 5 and the DVD. My index was built from the boxed set media. Minor
rpm release numbers excepted, the online disk images would give the same
result.

You could install with yast2 -i tk-devel, it would install all
dependencies and prompt you for inserting the disks as needed.

If you installed via the net your install repo should already contain
the packages you're after. CHeck with yast installation sources what
repos you have configured, there must be a problem there. The packages
is in the oss repo (which is the base repo)
